White & Case LLP has a diverse practice across jurisdictions and transaction types. It consistently operates at the top of the market, particularly in Brazil, where it is long-established and has one of the leading São Paulo teams. It has advised on a series of recent equity offerings in Brazil, including a sizeable market share of secondary and follow-on offerings, and has experienced further growth in liability management engagements. It remains active in M&A-driven transactions and restructuring-related matters; the firm is debtor counsel to a large number of Brazilian corporates. Donald Baker is the market leader in São Paulo amongst international firms, having opened the office there in 1997 and developed outstanding links to Brazilian corporates and financial institutions. John Vetterli is global head of capital markets and has a long track record in Latin America offerings, having been located in Sao Paulo earlier in his career. John Guzman is another prominent figure in São Paulo, having led teams on a multitude of headline deals, while Rafael Roberti is an up-and-coming name and 'a leader in transactions', along with Bibiana Jaimes. In Miami, Karen Katri was elected to the partnership in 2023; and in Sao Paulo Beatriz Barros is an up-and-coming associate of note.
